Drinking natural mineral water/packaged drinking water testing

Baijia.net - a professional third-party testing and inspection platform that provides testing services for natural mineral water/packaged drinking wat

GB 8537-2018 "Food Safety Standards for Edible Mountain Spring Water" was jointly announced by the Federation of Environmental Health and Physical and Mental Health and the General Administration of Market Supervision and Quality Supervision on June 21, 2018 (announced on June 22, 2018), replacing GB 8537-2008 "Natural Mineral Water for Drinking" and was officially implemented on June 21, 2019

Key changes compared to the old regulations:

2.1 Raw material regulations have been changed to water resource regulations, and regulations on manganese and oxygen consumption in purified water sources have been removed based on driving practices and specific manufacturing industry conditions.

2.2 Appearance regulations

The requirements for color and turbidity are higher.

. Lower the limit of the "chromaticity" indicator from 15 degrees to 10 degrees, and lower the limit of the "turbidity" indicator from 5 NTU to 1 NTU

2.3 Boundary Indicator

Delete the iodide indicator from the boundary indicator

2.4 Limit Index

Considering the fact that deep groundwater, as a natural mineral water, is not easily contaminated by organic matter, and in combination with industry surveys, the oxygen consumption index has been lowered from 3.0 mg/L to 2.0 mg/L.

Remove the less than sign from the original standard limit indicator and maintain consistency with the definition of limit

2.5 Pollutant Limit

The six indicators of arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury, nitrate, and nitrite in the pollutant limit indicators in the old version of the standard will no longer be listed in detail, but will be directly referenced from the provisions of GB 2762.

2.6 Microbial indicators

Based on the update of the detection method GB 8538, and referring to the sampling plan for microorganisms in GB 19298-2014 and its requirements for Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the limit requirements and sampling plan for Escherichia coli, fecal streptococcus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Clostridium perfringens were revised, and the limit requirements for these four microbial indicators were revised to 5 samples that were not detected, making the requirements more stringent

2.7 Food Additives

Added the direct reference to GB 2760 for food additives.

2.8 Label

The requirement to indicate product type has been removed, that is, the mandatory requirement to indicate product type for "gas and inflatable natural mineral water" has been abolished; Delete clause 8.1.2, which means that in the future, the labels of natural mineral water products for drinking shall not claim to have medical effects, and the requirements shall be stricter. Other clauses related to inspection rules, packaging, transportation, and storage in the old standard shall be deleted

Delete the description of processing requirements in the original standard 5.3.2 and directly refine it in the definition of various natural drinking mineral water

Further clarified the requirements for packaging near water sources

New standard enterprises need to pay special attention to:

1. Changes in microbial requirements: The limit requirements for the four microbial indicators of Escherichia coli, fecal streptococcus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Clostridium perfringens have been revised to 5 samples, which are not allowed to be detected, making the requirements more stringent.

2. Require production enterprises to attach importance to water source protection, strictly control production process quality management and inspection requirements, and strengthen the management of employee hygiene and packaging material disinfection

3. The new standard removes the less than sign from the limit indicator, and the indicator limit is changed to less than or equal to, relaxing the usage requirements
